I never skip the opening credits. Performances such as Follow-up, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, and Yellow jackets, for example, everyone has opening sequences that not only contain catchy songs with visually compelling on-screen accompaniments, but are also absolutely perfect for what they are meant for: to get you in the mood for the program. Not every show is as successful as this one, but it’s the point. However, I tend to be often on the losing side of this debate, as many people seem to appreciate their time so much that the most important thing is just to skip the frills and get to the action. But if anyone dares to ever press the ‘Skip Intro’ button for Vredemaker, the hilarious vulgar and hyper-violent new HBO Max series, we might have to fight.
After a first episode cold open that finds that John Cena’s Chris Smith — Peacemaker — has been discharged from the hospital and is apparently free of his previous incarceration, a few guitar riffs kick in and suddenly we’re transported to another world; a void where Vredemaker, a handful of other famous characters from The Suicide Squad (Jennifer Holland as Harcourt and Steve Agee as Economos), and several other new faces (including Freddie Stroma’s masked Vigilante and Danielle Brooks as Adebayo) all happily participate in a dance routine but with the expressions on their faces that look like someone tried to make them laugh while driving in line at the DMV wash. “I really wanted to do a dance number where everyone was doing something incredibly ridiculous, and looked incredibly serious while doing it,” Vredemaker writer and director James Gunn tell Polygon. It is at the same time joyful, hilarious and mesmerizing.
“I like to have dance series and have fun with it, and I wanted something at the beginning of this show that was going to be different and fun and make it clear that we were going to be a different kind of superhero show, that we were not there. there are no rules in place, and that will say something about the creative approach and tone, ”Gunn said in another interview with Rolling clip, and added that he had a similar opening sequence for his underrated 2010 film Super, even though it was all animated at the time.

Gunn also had another unique goal: to make sure viewers do not even think about skipping the credits when they watch Vredemaker. “Part of my goal is to overcome the Skip Intro button,” he said. “People are working very hard on these things, and you want the audience to pay attention when their names pass. If the viewers let it do that for all eight episodes, it’s going to be worth doing what we did.“
And that’s a good thing to do, and probably why Gunn uses the credit scene so often to such a great effect (every episode of Vredemaker has a small scene at the end of the credits, and he used these scenes with great effect in both The Suicide Squad and both of his Guardians of the Galaxy movies): he wants people to keep up and see the names of everyone who worked so hard on these super fun projects.
What is the song that is in the Vredemaker opening credits?
The song appears in the opening of each episode of Vredemaker is “Do Ya Wanna Taste It,” by Wig Wam, a Norwegian glam metal band. It may sound like ’80s hair rock to its core, but it’s actually from the group’s 2010 album Non Stop Rock’n Roll. And for Gunn there will never be another Vredemaker theme song.

“I started compiling a list of Vredemaker music long before I started writing the program, ”he said RS. “And the Wig Wam song was just the one that had perfect lyrics for our program: “Do you want to taste it? Do you really want to taste it? ” And so there was really nothing else in consideration except that song. ”
And at the end of the day, it’s the perfect song, the perfect vibe, and the perfect, well, just about everything for the glorious madness of Vredemaker. May the ‘Save Intro’ button be avoided forever.
